Interesting! Have tried caravan (rented) in Sälen, Lindvallen with husband and two daughters. It was nice. We lived on the slopes and were close to the skiing and it was easy to get home and have lunch. We had prepared the dinners at home and frozen them, which made it easier. At first I thought it was a bit awkward to go out to shower, but I got used to it.For me it will be both warmth and skiing this winter, no camping. But downhill skiing and living in a house or hotel.

Interesting reading, a bit surprising too. For my part, I prefer a sun holiday in an apartment with a view;-)

Ditte, it's nice that you get to go both to warmth and skiing! A few years ago we thought about taking the motorhome to the mountains in the winter, but that didn't happen...
BP, we like skiing, but we like warmth even more... so for us, sunshine holidays have also usually become a priority...

Camping or pitches with services are good. We are using that now. Have fun! Elisabeth
